Iphone 4/4S Cases

Hey Guys,

Sorry to start a thread on this but I didn't want to go through a million pages in the other iphone thread to find the posts on which cases are the nice out there. (I need a new case soon thats why!)

What is the hottest, nicest case out there right now? I looked through the Griffin and Incase site but nothing caught my attention. Are there other brands out there?

Thanks a lot!!

Not the answer you're looking for but I get my iPhone cases online and they're hit or miss in terms of quality. However I now have a cool small collection of cases that cost 2-5 bucks each and I can switch it up whenever I like. They even have those stupid bunny ear cases.

i use this case from magpul.

iPhone CASES - Executive Field Case – iPhone 4

imo its the best 10$ you can spent on a case. Why spent $10 on some cheap chinese crap or spend $50 for brand name incase shit when u can spent $10 for a quality and nicely thought out case

comes in many tactical color. Fits real snug around the phone, slim profile and its made by a company that makes mags for machine guns.

did i mention its only $10

i have the black but i like it so much i have burnt orange and foliage green on order. all 3 cases together will cost me around the price of 1 incase

This question probably belongs in here as well:

Just to confirm, the iphone4 and 4s share the exact same dimensions?

no..iphone 4s and iphone 4 aren't the same. the silent button on the side is slightly lower on the 4S than the 4 which means most won't fit both phones.

^ no the 4s silent button is slightly lower than the 4. Case that fit the CDMA verizon iPhone Should fit the 4s fine. Many manufacture have already updated there case to be universal

it's more exact with the verizon IP4 which sport a different antenna design, so look for that or specifically 4S when looking for cases

Anyone seen the brush aluminum skin they sell at the Crystal Mall cube store? Have anyone seen them online? I think they look really good.

those magpull ones seem cool.


here's another site
Popular iPhone Cases | Society6
crazy designs and TONS to choose from... a bit expensive for me, but they're probably worth it if u really like the design.
